Online job postings declined by nearly 67,000 in June, compared with May, according to a report released by The Conference Board.
In the five months since January, online labor demand has dropped a relatively modest 71,000, in sharp contrast to the 1,200,000 decline in the previous five months from August 2008 to January 2009.
The report said there were 3,294,800 online job postings in June on more than 1,200 major Internet job boards.
“We are not out of the woods yet, but job demand has definitely stabilized since January,” said Gad Levanon, senior economist at The Conference Board. “Although there is some bounce in the monthly numbers, the number of online advertised vacancies has held steady in the last three months.”
